The most important Advantages and Disadvantages of the new WordPress Gutenberg Editor
Gutenberg is only a few days away from release, I summarised the biggest advantages and disadvantages for you.
Advantages:
- True WYSIWYG editor that is very intuitive and easy to use
- Technical knowledge is not required
- Clear separation of layout and content allows easy distribution of content to other channels
- Developers can create custom and reusable content blocks with ReactJS knowledge
- With CSS anyone can customise existing content blocks
- Simple and clear interface provides little distraction when creating content
- Very good functionality and user experience for fast changes on the smartphone
- Changing themes is made much easier
Disadvantages:
- Especially at the beginning bugs and problems can occur (e.g. responsive web design)
- Support for meta boxes is still limited, but WordPress is already working on a solution
- A potential source of problems is the backward compatibility of Gutenberg with themes and plug-ins. However, over time this will surely be resolved.
Need more information? Gutenberg is developed on GitHub. Furthermore, this documentation is a great way to get to know the project.
